I love the feel and solidness of impact over the whole range of shots, from 100 yards plus to chips and sand shots. These are fabulous wedges!

The cg 14 has a wider sole which is why it is the tour pros choice of sand wedge. Also it seems to be much better for opening up the club face and hitting flop shots. The cg 12 has a more solid feel and hits a lower ball flight. Both have similar spin characteristics and overall i would recommend cleveland wedges over any other make (including titleist vokey, callaway and mizuno all of which i have tries) purely because of the amount of feel you have with them. 4 handicap

The PW is 46° and the UW is 50°. I'd like to compliment it with a couple Cleveland wedges, but I'm torn over which combination to get. 56° & 60°? 54° and 60°? 54° & 58°? I know conventional wisdom says to vary by 4°, but I'm thinking it may be handy to have the 60° in the bag. I just got a new set of Ping G5's 4-9, PW, and UW. The PW is 46° and the UW is 50°.

I can't speak for everybody but that isn't what i need on a 50°-60°. A mis-hit with a gapwedge doesn't take off 20 yards its mear feet. Perhaps this would be great with those mid to long irons, but i can't see any real purpose to reducing the vibrations for a max 100 yard shot? :neutral: Though overall, the clubs are great the feel is fantastic and it's easier to get those little 15 yard pitch shots to spin again! :grin: :shock: They claim that the 'gelback' technology is reducing the unwanted vibrations on mis-hits?

I am thinking of buying a Cleveland wedge and have a choice of either CG11 or CG14. Can you please recommend which one I should go for and what bounce and angle. Thanks.

Ironically I played really well with them first time out, but they did lose a lot of paint. Anyhpow, that will teach me to be a cheap skate. Next time I will go and support my local golf shop. Have logged a fraud case with Ebay. Please pass around. Thanks an dhappy golfing. Mike I also got scammed with fake CG14 wedges on E-bay.

If they are fakes they went to a lot of trouble as they have all the stickers touting zip groves on the heads of the clubs etc... I wonder a little though as the 52 is much darker than the 56 and 60. Is there any real way to tell? Stickers are there on the shaft... the rubber insert is in the back. The grooves look milled just right ... weight is consistent, all wrapping has cleveland all over it... all shafts are identical as are all three grips, seller has all good feedback. You start selling knockoffs and someone is going to call you on it... I wonder though... Drew I also purchased 3 from ebay for just a bit over $200 for all three...

For a high handicaper it is much more difficult for them to control a 60 degree wedge. Also, you generally want about 4 degree difference in your "scoring clubs" even though it is not a set rule. However, my favorite club in the bag is my 56 degree. It really all matters on what your comfortable with and make sure about your distances on your clubs. It would be pointless to have two clubs that hit close to the same distance. I'm talking about the gap between your rapture pw and whichever set you decide to buy. I hope this helps.
